I think that if you tried to examine my different moral subsystems absent a scenario, they might be irreconcilable, but in practice they normally wind up deciding on something just because reality almost never throws me a moral problem that's a perfect toss-up. If I constrain my moral opinions to the domains of actions that I can take, I'll feel pulled in different directions, but there's almost always a winning faction eventually.
